This article, by Noel Sheppard, is presented, in it’s entirety (with permission), from News Busters. I tip my hat to Trent, for the head’s up. Folks have been saying for years that once the gay agenda is fully-realized, the next step is bestiality, or some such. Actually(not surprisingly), it’s pedophilia.

The next pillar in the “born-that-way” destruction of polite society – is the most vile, detestable, scorn-worthy, miserable, low-down, rotten, abysmal, waste of human flesh, known as the pedophile. When they say there is no way to stop them, I would counter with castration. Zero sexual urges, after the sex-organs are removed.

None of the words (or emphasis) below are mine. They belong entirely to Mr. Sheppard and News Busters. I have not retouched or edited the article in any way.

The following headline actually appeared at Gawker Friday: “Born This Way: Sympathy and Science for Those Who Want to Have Sex with Children.”

The article, written by Gawker West Coast editor Cord Jefferson, was even worse (emphasis added throughout):

In an ABC News article from 2003, a corrections officer from Los Angeles told reporter Michael S. James that imprisoned pedophiles “usually don’t make it” without protective custody. Leslie Walker, a prisoner’s rights activist, told James, “[Child sex offenders] are at risk of being murdered, having their food taken, having their cells defecated and urinated in. Their life is truly a living hell.” Good, most people will say. But there is a growing number of researchers, many of them out of Canada, whose work suggests that pedophilia is an illness deserving of the public’s sympathy the way any brain disorder is. Some of the scientists say pedophilia is a sexual orientation, meaning that it’s unchangeable, regardless of how much jail time or beatings or therapy someone is dealt. Others have reason to believe that pedophiles are born that way, and that some of them will suffer through entire lives without hurting a single child. If this research proves to be correct, it should help shape both our public policy and our public attitude, so that we’re protecting kids while also protecting pedophiles from angry mobs, cellmates, and themselves.

That bears repeating: “[P]edophilia is an illness deserving of the public’s sympathy…pedophilia is a sexual orientation.”

Scary stuff. But it got worse:

Currently, there is no significant longitudinal evidence that pedophiles can be made to not be attracted to children, and thus it can be defined as their orientation. And if pedophilia is a sexual orientation, that also means it’s futile to send pedophiles to prison in an effort to alter their attractions. Doing so is akin to sending a homosexual child off to a religious-based institution that claims it can “pray the gay away.”

Yes, the article really said “it’s futile to send pedophiles to prison in an effort to alter their attractions.”

But there was still more:

Imagine a world in which admitting your attraction to busty women or tall men led to alienation, jail time, or your murder. Older gay men can probably remember such an era, but nowadays most sexual appetites have been mainstreamed to the point of banality. Pedophiles, for obvious reasons, don’t enjoy the same kind of tolerance, and thus it seems as if they may be locked forever in a sexual prison from the moment they’re born.

Isn’t it a shame that pedophiles “don’t enjoy the same kind of tolerance?”

But the worst was still yet to come:

The old adage is that the true mark of a society is how it treats the weakest in its ranks. Blacks, women, Latinos, gays and lesbians, and others are still in no way on wholly equal footing in America. But they’re also not nearly as lowly and cursed as men attracted to children. One imagines that if Jesus ever came to Earth, he’d embrace the poor, the blind, the lepers, and, yes, the pedophiles.

[H]ow ignorent of the Bible can you be if you’re suggesting Jesus would “embrace the pedophiles”?

Matthew 18: 6: “But whoever causes the downfall of one of these little ones who believe in Me—it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea!”

Jesus died for the forgiveness of sin, not the embrace of it. The Bible is very clear that while all sins can be forgiven, Jesus never ever embraces the sin itself. He made no bones about the punishment for harming a child.

No matter how preposterous this Gawker editor’s views, we learned in the very next sentence how someone could actually think this way.

This blew my mind. Your points of emphasis are great, but you could take almost any line of this article by itself and it would outrage a person with an ounce of decency. How could you even argue with someone who holds this view point; it is indefensible. There is something so fundamentally wrong with this it hits at that primal part of my mind that makes me want to break, physically, the person who said it. .

There isn’t a single pedophile in prison anywhere for his predilection. It is safe to assume that many with this sickness keep it to themselves their entire lives and never act on it. These people don’t run afoul of the law for thought crimes.

Pedophiles are imprisoned when they act on their crime and harm another person. The logic of the argument in the article could be equally applied to Hannibal Lector types who get sexual gratification only when they kill and eat the target of their sexual attraction. Who are we to judge?

The flaw in this reasoning is so obvious it grabs you by the collar and slaps you in the face!

By the way, my old Army buddy who has been a prison guard for 25 years tells me that the belief that pedophiles in prison face a special hell is largely a myth. He tells me there are so many of them in prisons that they form their own communities of interest and protection.
